Steemit is Growing, Slowly. Many Crypto-Investors were betting on Steemit Saying that it will grow 4x-5x Until the end of 2017. At Current rate it seems impossible, although @ned @dan Might do something to attract more Investments and Grow the Prize-Pool and Steem's Value...
We'll see what the future has to unfold!

Hi Adil, it is very simple actually, the money is there but it is not "allocated" so it remains there on the bottom of the pool till someone finds out how to move it up. many bots are attempting to do so but not very effectively. I read a very good post a bit ago talking about roughly 80K allocated to upvotes monthly!! So if they are distributed evenly to all the steemians then you should expect at least 2$ increase per month without doing anything. This is still wild and raw and something tells me that at this pace steemit is serving only the big dogs as more people power down a couple a times a week. Steemit is more like a stock exchange panel with a human side to it.
